^ hel ya Im proud of that cowl, 10 hours workin out the crowbar damage. 8 more sanding for paint,,,straightest part of the car.

Another place where I went "oh, that will be good enough...". Nope. I decided that it came from the factory that way...

Your car doesn't need paint! Looked beautiful in the Solvang pics I saw, as always.

Whoever painted your car did a great job I would find out who did it and and have them do it. Longevity has it's merits. If I did it, that would be a really long commute for me after work everyday

[pebbles]

You can't paint a car and only post 2 pics!!!

Need more pics!!!!

Looks great by the way- even 18 inches from my laptop!

ok 1 more, Say you dont have a "D" lying around? this plastic one only has one pin and a nub, I know its gonna pop out spin around and you know what

[692000]

I got one-with both pins. Not sure if it is as pretty as youes... PM me your address again and I'll mail it up

David,
Although you are getting one, you might want to fix yours as a spare. Carefully drill a little hole at the post, then Gorilla glue the little post in. I think I drilled by hand to avoid cracking it.
I did mine.

^ Good idea. The pin was missing, however I do have some misc clips with plastic pins . Ill check dimensions. Thanks

This experience is a bit surreal, I walk out to sand bondo and there is a painted car. For over 30 years I have wanted to paint a Datsun roadster.
Without this site, I would still be looking at a hulk.
Thanks Steve.
Alvin, your passion for your car, your photos, putting it all out there for us, is well, motivating to say the least. Thank you.
Michael Spreadbury A positive attitude, not letting anything stand in your way. Uplifting at a time twhen I really needed it. Thank you

David,

I remember all those months that car was for sale on Craigslist-- it really looked like a forgotten dream. The car looks stunning... now you just need to finish the SR swap in the other one!

Looking forward to the day our cars meet!

Michael

David, thank you for posting all your hard work and long hours-car looks great! You have to take me for a ride in Canby....it's been a year since I rode in a roadster!

Sam

BTW- Do you have a windshield for it?

[Gregs672000]

I'm so glad you posted the early pic and the after. That is exactly how I remember the car on Craigslist. Wonderful job, the car has a special place in my heart now, and I don't even own it.

[Alvin]

The crowd shouts "we want more!"

[Datsun.David]

HUBBA HUBBA... That is beautiful!

Two words - Road Trip!

Kelowna May Long weekend!
